?????????? The stock has gone from $30 in 1998 to around $10 before you know when. Down 4% to $2.60 today. The value of a share today is less then a "Happy Meal" at McDonalds.
Sad, but true.

I don't quarrel with Snake's point about the decline in the value of HP stock from around $30 to around $2.40. I was only suggesting that the current price has some possibility factored in that the loan guarantees will be approved and that is why the stock hasn't tanked even more.
